el diablo  

jefferson airplane'den de tanıyabileceğimiz grace slick'in bir solo çalışması olan; klasik ve elektro gitar melodilerinin grace slick'in güçlü sesiyle uyumuyla dikkat çeken, çarpıcı sözlere de sahip şarkı:

el diablo i can feel your power in my soul
dancing like your puppet though i try to break your hold
half succeeding still i find i’m healing quickly
you’ll not trick me one more time...

el diablo you are like a fountain blowing dust
peddler of delusion, dire confusion and disgust
as you hook your mark with joyous heart you up the price
take your pleasure elsewhere cast your gaze not on my life...

el diablo i can feel your power in my soul
dancing like your puppet though i try to break your hold
half succeeding still i find i’m healing quickly
you’ll not trick me one more time...

el diablo i can hear you calling in the night
pass me by in silence i’ll not follow you tonight
beat your breast like thunder vent your anger with a howl
you’ll not pull me under i’ll not tremble at your growl...

1976 tarihli tejas albümünden ağır ve çok baba bir zz top parçasıdır. mükemmel bir gitar verseiyle başlar. davullarına da ayrıca dikkat edilmelidir.

did you ever hear the story
that happened not long ago
'bout the man with a tan:
el diablo de mexico?
and this man played his hand
and he lived by the luck of the draw;
now and then and again,
found him steppin' outside of the law
hey, hey!

and his fortune he had made
let him live high on the hog
til the day of the raid
when they hunted him like a dog.
he was out on the run,
knowing he could get by,
'cause the men killed in sin
were not there to testify.
hey, hey!

he was caught, he was bound
in la casa de calaboose.
he was tried; he was found
and readied for the noose.
but the break he would make,
it didn't turn out so well.
and the hombre called "diablo"
bid his last farewell.
